Chapter 315: On the Brink

Su Sheng also stopped leading people to attack the Morning Star; now everyone has arrived.

In terms of numbers, Qing Long Main City is the weakest, Zhuque City the strongest, and Bai Hu and Xuan Wu are evenly matched.

But in the final showdown, there can be only one Main City.

System Notification: The map is about to…

The final hour.

The map refreshed immediately.

Special Notice: If the ten‑hour contest ends without a final winner, the victor will be determined by the number of cauldron fragments each Main City holds.

The one with the most fragments wins.

Su Sheng raised an eyebrow slightly; in that case, we still have to fight,

Even though I don't have many cauldrons in hand, no one knows how many fragments the others hold.

Roar!

At that moment, a roar came from the side, stirring the tense atmosphere.

BOSS!

The last BOSS holding a fragment reappeared, just beyond the entrance of ShenShou Zhi Cheng.

"Just standing still isn't an option; tell me how to fight," Chairman Dawnbreak, Twelve-winged Angel, said with a smile.

Su Sheng scanned the surrounding people; in this situation there are probably two main ways to fight,

One is that when the wall falls, everyone pushes, and the focus will likely target the currently smallest Qing Long Main City.

Huan Yu's might, having faced many heroes, left a deep impression; although Qing Long City now has the fewest people, it still commands respect from other guilds.

The other possibility is…

Zhuque City, Yanhuang!

Qing Long City is strong, but because it clashed with Yanhuang, it now has the fewest people, and on top of that Su Sheng's recent near‑invincible performance.

Others may fear Yanhuang even more than Huan Yu, so the second possibility is that they first eliminate the currently most populous Zhuque City.

Especially…

Dawnbreak, Greedy Wolf, Qiancheng Muxue and those guilds all have conflicts with Yanhuang.

Now add a Morning Star; after all, in this cauldron‑seizing battle the Morning Star was directly destroyed by Yanhuang.

"Everyone be careful…" Su Sheng reminded in the party channel.

Jiang Hai Tange, the Peak War God, and Ye Tianzi all gave a slight nod.

They're not foolish; they can see the situation clearly.

Everyone exchanged glances, but what exactly they communicated is known only to them.

Among the contestants from the Four Great Main Cities, there's been no movement yet.

The spectator players, however, are not pleased.

"What's going on? You look at me, I look at you—holding a big meeting?"

"In this situation, none of them dare to act rashly."

"Tell me, who will win in the end?"

"I don't know. At first I thought it would be either Qing Long Main City or Zhuque Main City, but I didn't expect those two to clash first."

"Now it's likely that the first to be eliminated will be either Qing Long Main City or Zhuque Main City."

"Watching this is really nerve‑wracking; if it can't be done, I'll go myself and fight."

For half a day there's been no movement, and the spectators are anxious.

…

Refresh!

From Dawnbreak's side, some activity was heard; the assassins… vanished.

Almost instinctively, at the same moment every Main City's assassins turned invisible.

It seemed the number of people in the arena dropped sharply.

"It's about to start!"

"Let's fight, let's fight!"

Now there's activity, and the spectator players instantly got excited.

But…

"?"

It fell silent again for three or four minutes, with no sign of movement.

Those players were about to start cursing again.

Suddenly, a cold glint flashed.

Two figures appeared simultaneously.

The cold glint appeared near Zhuque City.

An assassin from Qiancheng Muxue was caught by Yu Lin, who immediately executed a combo, revealed its image and took it away.

"That Qiancheng Muxue guy still doesn't learn," Yu Lin sneered.

Having fought the Assassin Alliance for so long, knowing the caliber of our assassins, these assassins still dare to sneak over; they truly remember the feast but not the fight.

"Attack!" At that moment, the people from Bai Hu City sprang into action.

"Everyone, unite; first send Zhuque City away, then we'll settle the final showdown among us."

The Twelve-winged Angel spoke.

Su Sheng's face sank slightly; sure enough, Zhuque City still ended up as the first target.

Greedy Wolf Chairman Lang Xing Tianxia of Xuanwu City, without hesitation, directly led people to respond to Dawn's words.

The others in Xuanwu Main City saw that Greedy Wolf had already made a move, hesitated a moment, then followed suit one after another.

Anyway, we'll have to fight eventually; we'll eventually have to eliminate three. In this situation, it's better to strike first; with someone taking the lead, they can just provide support.

Moreover, the number of people in Zhuque Main City is indeed the highest, plus a Mo Wen Qianchen.

Prioritizing sending away Zhuque City is indeed one of the best options.

Participants from both main cities instantly sprang into action.

On the Zhuque City side, they had already deployed their battle formation at the first moment.

Although they are rivals, in this match we still need to pool our wisdom and strength.

Defensive Knight takes the first position.

Warrior provides support.

Between mages and priests, archers are at the rear; assassins use invisibility to hide in the back to assassinate or guard the "rear line".

War Knight…

Charge!

Su Sheng took the lead and charged out.

But soon, everyone discovered.

However, the side of Qing Long Main City showed no reaction at all.

"Shen Wang Chairman?" Twelve-winged Heaven looked toward Qinglong City.

"You guys, keep it up!"

"I'll give you applause and cheer you on."

Shen Wang bore a long sword, laughing as he spoke.

Twelve-winged Angel's face darkened slightly; Shen Wang was his old rival, likely guessing his plan.

"Xingchen Chairman, won't you make a move? After all, Mo Wen Qianchen almost eliminated you all." Twelve-winged Angel immediately shifted target and began persuading Xingchen.

Xingchen held a bow and arrow, grinning, "We're all thousand-year-old foxes; who doesn't know who? Why go through all this roundabout?"

"This is just a competition; even if I really get eliminated, it's just a case of being inferior—what's there to resent?" Xingchen said with a smile.

"…"

The Twelve-winged Angel was completely speechless.

"Moreover, if you really destroy Yanhuang and Zhuque City, next it's likely that the two of you will team up to eliminate my Qinglong City, right?" Shen Wang looked at the Twelve-winged Angel with a half-smile.

The Twelve-winged Angel silently turned away, saying nothing.

This is indeed the Twelve-winged Angel's plan, after all, Yanhuang and the universe are beings he fears.

After dealing with those two big guys, he could then have a final showdown with the people of Xuanwu City.

"He's not speaking; looks like we hit the mark."

"It's not unusual; their struggle has always been roundabout, full of scheming."

"You think the top ten guilds of Huaxia are easy to handle? Especially now with an extra Yanhuang."

The tourist players also got excited; finally the fight began.

Charge!

At this point on the battlefield, Su Sheng had already taken the lead and launched the charge.

Behind him were the other War Knights closely following.

At this moment, Su Sheng noticed a person charging out on a mount, with a strange expression.
